narcotics-related counts, as detailed in indictment number

did import into Puerto Rico and possess with the intent to
distribute, multi-kilogram quantities of cocaine between

for Drug Control's fugitive apprehension unit.
3. Cayetano made a voluntary, intelligent, and knowing waiver
of his right to challenge his extradition before the Criminal
Chamber of the Dominican Supreme Court. The waiver was in
writing and was notarized.
4. The return of Cayetano brings to a total of 3 the
Dominican-national fugitives returned through the extradition
process during CY-2007 (a total of 7 for FY-2008).
